Product Description

Echinocereus pulchellus pachuca is a striking, small cactus that forms compact, clumping mounds of cylindrical stems. Each stem is adorned with short, dense spines that provide protection and add to its visual appeal. In spring, this cactus produces large, showy flowers that are a vibrant pink to magenta color, creating a stunning contrast against the green stems. The blooms are funnel-shaped, often reaching up to 6 cm in diameter. This species is well-suited for rock gardens, container growth, and cactus collections due to its unique appearance and low maintenance needs.
